Reborn, meet you again!
Chapter 52 Invitation
Compared with the marriage at Ningyuan Marquis Mansion that turned into a joke, Song Wan's treatment today went very smoothly.
Within two days, the news of a female doctor appearing in the capital city spread throughout the market.
There is a constant stream of people coming to seek medical treatment.
Song Wan naturally did not refuse everyone who came to her. She understood the principle of repaying a favor with a small amount of rice and repaying a grudge with a large amount of rice.
They only announced to the public that they would provide free medical consultation for one day every month at the stall.
All she could do next was wait.
When this matter spread from the market to the inner court of the prime minister's mansion.
The invitation that Song Wan had been looking forward to was finally delivered to the Jiang Mansion on the third day.
Song Wan tightly grasped the red invitation, her heart leaping with joy, and immediately prepared to have someone send a reply.
However, when Jiang Zheng and Liu heard about this, they immediately came to Song Wan's yard.
Jiang Zheng spoke first.
"Qiao Qiao, your parents let you do whatever you wanted a few days ago, but going to the Prime Minister's Mansion is no small matter. You should think about it again."
After the daughter divorced and left the house, she never left the house. She only asked someone to buy a lot of miscellaneous books, and she stayed in her room reading day and night.
It took half a month before he was willing to go out.
Although his behavior was a bit strange, he and his wife thought that the worst that could happen was that he would not be able to cure the patient and would have to pay some money as compensation.
My daughter is not the kind of person who takes human life lightly. She would not seriously treat someone badly. There is nothing wrong in letting her go out and relax.
However, he never expected that his daughter would become so famous and even attract the prime minister's residence.
Song Wan knew what Jiang Zheng and Liu were thinking, so he stood up and sat down to greet them.
"Father and mother are worried that their daughter won't be able to cure Old Madam Song and that Prime Minister Song will take his anger out on her?"
Jiang Zheng and Liu looked at each other and nodded awkwardly.
"Qiao Qiao, it's not that father doesn't believe you, it's just that you haven't been studying medicine for long... and..."
"Tell your father honestly, is there anything strange about those people you cured?"
"Is it... that Chen Tai who came to the Jiang Mansion a few days ago arranged this for you?" They naturally knew about Chen Tai's visit to the mansion a few days ago.
Song Wan understood Jiang Zheng's worries. After all, no one knows a daughter better than her father.
Her father must have some idea of Jiang Wanqiao's abilities, but she couldn't let that restrict her actions.
After all, she now possesses Jiang Wanqiao's body and memories, so her identity is not so easily questioned.
So he made up a story with his eyes open.
"To be honest, father, Chen Tai is indeed my daughter's man now, but those patients were indeed cured by my daughter herself."
"My daughter didn't show off her medical skills before because she felt that she would have to come into contact with patients every day, which would inevitably lead to dirt and bad luck. Especially after marrying into the Marquis's mansion, as a woman from the inner chambers, she couldn't show her face in public, so she didn't think about it."
"In fact, my daughter is incredibly gifted in this field! During her three years in the capital, she even encountered a great opportunity and received two medical books personally gifted by a master."
"After all these hardships, my daughter has long since put aside her previous concerns. She has been acting this way these past few days precisely because she wants to use her medical skills to build a reputation, gain access to the mansions of the nobles in Shangjing, and see if she can find a backer for the Jiang family in Shangjing!"
"Now that she has gotten what she wanted, why is my daughter pushing it away?"
"And now that things have come to this... my daughter can't refuse!"
The two medical books were written by her according to her memory long after she left the house with her divorce, and she deliberately made them look old in order to deal with the issues concerning her medical skills.
Jiang Zheng was a little surprised when he heard Song Wan say this.
Were those people really cured by my daughter? But thinking about it carefully, there seemed to be no reason for my daughter to lie to them...
Could it be that my daughter is really gifted?
This is quite a surprise.
But then he thought, since his wife was so smart, it wasn't surprising that his daughter had some special qualities.
But the Prime Minister's Mansion really made him feel uneasy.
But my daughter is right. The invitation has already been sent. If I don't go, I might end up causing trouble.
"Well, since this post is hard to push, I will go with you tomorrow."
"We've heard of Prime Minister Song's reputation even when we were far away in Jiangnan. For example, when the late emperor was still alive, he devised a scheme to increase taxes on members of our local chambers of commerce by 20% in order to curry favor with the late emperor!"
"These past few days in Shangjing, your mother and I have heard the people of Shangjing privately calling him 'traitorous prime minister'. It's clear that this man... is definitely not a good person!"
"If anything unexpected happens to you during your trip... I'm here to take care of you."
Liu agreed with Jiang Zheng's words very much.
"Qiao Qiao, your father is right. Although he may not be able to help, you came here alone, and you look like this. I heard that the eldest son of the Song family is also a ridiculous person. Although rumors cannot be believed, I can always feel more at ease with your father accompanying you."
Song Wan sighed slightly in her heart when she heard this.
This word "reputation" is really a double-edged sword...
But seeing the worried looks on Jiang Zheng and Liu's faces, Song Wan swallowed her words of objection.
"In that case, I'd like to trouble you, father, to accompany me on this journey!"
She might have to go in and out of the Prime Minister's Mansion more often in the future, so that Jiang Zheng can see for himself and know what kind of person his father is, so that he and Liu can feel more at ease.
……
What Song Wan didn't expect was that early the next morning, the Prime Minister personally sent a carriage to pick her up.
The person who came to pick her up was Uncle Fu, the housekeeper of the Song Mansion, whom she was very familiar with.
Uncle Fu is nearly fifty years old, has a beard, and has the same smile on his face that he has had for decades.
"I heard that Miss Jiang has cured many difficult diseases recently. Miss Jiang is so young, but she has such superb medical skills. It is really admirable!"
Song Wan suppressed the excitement in her heart and smiled calmly.
"Butler, you are too kind. I am just lucky to have obtained some ancient recipes!"
Uncle Fu smiled and nodded, his eyes narrowed into slits, looking very amiable.
"Miss Jiang is too modest, let's go!"
"it is good!"
Jiang Zheng, who was standing by, saw that the Prime Minister's Mansion had come in person to pick someone up. He was worried that he would not be allowed to go with them. After all, the post from the Prime Minister's Mansion only said that his daughter was invited to come.
If they had gone there by carriage, he would have followed them. The Prime Minister's Mansion would not have turned him away.
But now it’s different…
Unexpectedly, when the housekeeper of the Song Mansion heard that he wanted to go together, he had no intention of stopping him. He just said with a smile that it was a good idea, and immediately went to meet him and got into the carriage of the Prime Minister's Mansion together.
Jiang Zheng finally felt relieved. After the carriage set off, he whispered to Song Wan.
"They say like master, like servant."
"The housekeeper of the Song Mansion is quite friendly and warm to you. He treats you with courtesy. I, as a father, can finally put my mind at ease a little!"
Song Wan almost couldn't help laughing when she heard that.
If Jiang Zheng had seen Uncle Fu's methods, he probably wouldn't say that.
But she had better keep those words to herself so as not to scare the old man.
Just answered obediently.
"Father is right. I feel much more at ease now."
The carriage traveled smoothly all the way and finally stopped at the gate of the prime minister's residence.
Song Wan watched the vermilion door open to her again, feeling the sunlight coming through the door. Suddenly, a warm feeling surged in her heart, but she quickly suppressed it.
After walking around the long corridor under the guidance of Uncle Fu, the two finally arrived at the main hall.
Uncle Fu politely asked someone to serve tea to Jiang Zheng, then looked at him with a smile.
"Master Jiang, the Prime Minister is ill, and the inner courtyard is occupied by the women. I'm afraid this may be inconvenient. Please wait here for a moment. I will take Miss Jiang to the old lady's courtyard first. If Miss Jiang needs anything, I will make arrangements."
Jiang Zheng naturally knew that it was not easy for him to enter the inner courtyard of this official's family.
"Okay, I'm still young, so if I'm being disrespectful, please advise me."
"Don't worry, Master Jiang. Miss Jiang is an honored guest at the Prime Minister's residence, and the Prime Minister's residence will not neglect her."
Uncle Fu said this and made a gesture of invitation to Song Wan.
"Miss Jiang, please follow me."
